LIFE IS WHAT
HAPPENS TO YOU WHILE YOU’RE BUSY MAKING OTHER PLANS.... and while
CHARLIE HUNTER’S other plans have included other bands (most recently
including GARAGE-A-TROIS & GROUNDRUTHER) other gigs (endless dates
as a side-man, studio musician and colloborator) and other formations
of his own band (from duo, to quartet to quintet) Charlie always fond
himself going back to where it all began - the trio, which, after 15 years
as a leader, has finally become his band, the one that’s gonna stick
together, grow old together. Now together for over 5 years, having toured
the world (and beyond) the CHARLIE HUNTER TRIO follows up 2003’s
“FRIENDS SEEN and UNSEEN” with COPPEROPOLIS, same 3 guys,
but different in one big way - IT ROCKS. Literally - “I was just
feeling rocky I guess” says the band leader. And the addition of
John Ellis’ playing both the wurlizer and melodica opened up a lot
of space for Charlie to simply shred. This is the album fans (and Ropeadope)
has been calling on for years. Pop it in, turn it up and rock it out.
and you shall see.
